Medicine and law

Important decisions are often made in medical litigation with little basis in evidence.

Juries and judges lack to confidence to assess scientific data so decisions get made based on the celebrity status of expert witnesses.

It will take a long time to change this system. Daubert gate keeping, where a judge evaluates what is science and what is not, helps somewhat but highlights the obvious paradox of a non-scientist deciding what is science.

Medical science and law move glacially slow. Combining the two compounds the problem. Until reforms occur, the best we can do is to try to separate the advocacy from the science, making it clear which is which.
